Iraqis Connection to OK City Bombing or Is This Another Wild Goose Chase?

"Let FBI and CIA agents talk about links to terrorism"

(snip) "If our government is serious about fighting terrorism, why won't it hear from its own FBI and CIA agents about terrorist acts in this country? What's wrong with letting them talk?" (end of snip)

(snip) "Johnson, Woolsey and Vogel have tried to get the FBI and Congress to consider stark evidence that a former Iraqi soldier, who emigrated to the U.S. after the first Gulf War, was tied to a terrorist cell in Oklahoma City that was involved in the 1995 bombing there, but the FBI keeps telling them they are crazy."

"Vogel is prepared to swear before Congress that he met with an Oklahoma City TV reporter, her husband and her lawyer on Jan. 28, 1999, at that city's FBI office and received documents implicating the Iraqi's involvement in the bombing, and that Vogel turned them over to his superiors, only to have those documents disappear." (end of snip)

Wall Street Journal Commentary: 22 September 2002 Micah Morrison

(snip) "The McVeigh defense filings portray the Nichols link to the Cebu City boarding house, Ramzi Yousef and Abu Sayyaf as grounds for believing that bomb-making expertise may have been passed to Nichols through "Iraqi intelligence based in the Philippines." McVeigh attorney Stephen Jones told Insight magazine recently that six months before the Oklahoma City bombing, "Tim couldn't blow up a rock. Then Terry goes to the Philippines," and their bomb-making skills take a great leap forward. The court did not grant Mr. Jones's request to comb through U.S. intelligence files in search of an Iraq connection to the Oklahoma City bombing." (end of snip). . .

. . . (snip) "None of this is "hard evidence," let alone "conclusive evidence," that Saddam Hussein was complicit in Sept. 11 or any of the other domestic terrorist attacks. But there is quite a bit of smoke curling up from various routes to Baghdad, and it's not clear that anyone except Jayna Davis and Laurie Mylroie has looked very hard for fire. We do know that Saddam Hussein plotted to assassinate former President George Bush during a visit to Kuwait in April 1993. Could he have been waging a terror offensive against the U.S. ever since the end of the Gulf War? This remains a speculative possibility, but a possibility that needs to be put on the table in a serious way." (end of snip)

I suspect a Clinton policy of "denying the terrorists their due" as a half-assed means of opposing terrorism. I suspect they know a ton more about Iraqi involvement in US terrorism, going back to 1991, than the public will ever know.

Sick to think that Clinton was taking his personal method of "bimbo suppression" ("if they don't talk about it, it didn't happen) and trying to apply something similar to US foreign policy, but it was sick already to have such a person in office. We paid the price 9/11 and we are paying the price now.

I tend to believe it. Likewise the Iraqi link to the first WTC bombing, as well as training terrorists to hijack planes with boxcutters, and the Atta-Iraq-Prague connection.

The OKC and Iraqi connection is QUITE valid.

Newsmax has TONS of articles regarding this. A better resourced would be google:

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=iraq+okc+jayna+davis

Tons of articles on these links. Mystery Man #2, aka John Doe #2, is beleived to have been Zacharous Moussaoui (Slaughtered his name, hell if I wanna remember how to spell it correctly).

TWA 800 has links to Iraq too now.

I want to know WHY the Feds covered all this up? Why? Why? why?

Clintons are like any rats - their nature is bred to the bone.

It is naive to think a Clinton would voluntarily restrain their immoral schemes. Shamelessness knows no bounds.

Like the deceptions of perverse sexual conquests, the harassment, intimidation and elimination of enemies, lust for money and power at all costs, Clinton foreign policy submitted truth to the fantasy of 'peace and prosperity'.

Terrorism first struck America shortly after Clinton's inauguration in 1993, starting with the first World Trade Center attack. It was followed by the OKC terrorist bombing, and the TWA800 missile attack just prior to the Olympics launching his second election campaign.

Lies, deception and denial infected the investigations of these incidents, leading to the serious distrust of the Clinton administration and all government.

As Freeper Mia T so eloquently states, Clinton hid from the radical Islamic terrorist threat, allowing it to metastasize.

The Clinton Legacy stands eternal - characterized by shame, cowardice, ineptitude, and dishonor.

In addition to being quite inconvenient to
Clinton's "Peace & Prosperity" campaign message;
admitting that hundreds of Americans were being killed by middle-eastern terrorists might have required Bubba to grow a pair, and do something to protect the American public.

Obviously, he had no more intrest in protecting the public than he did in protecting the Constitution.

God rest the victims of OKC, TWA800, and the WTC, the victims of Clinton "peace" politics.

Look on the bright side. If Al T. Goron was president during 911, he would have demanded bribes from the airlines to keep quiet and would have blamed the whole thing on Christian home-schoolers.

Although I just don't see why W. seems to be covering up for the clintonite scum.

There undoubtedly is a reliable and verifiable list, but I personally hope that it does not become public knowledge for a long time. We may still need continuing info from the sources.

Yes, it makes sense. The "case closed" response is puzzling.

While I wonder when the unanswered questions and sworn statements will be fully addressed and available to public scrutiny, I'm guessing there are many unknown to the public yet valid reasons still for the "official" door slam.

Just a speculation, but since Saddam knew more about Scott Ritter than we did, maybe he also knows more about Bill Clinton than we do.

Nobody hates what the Clinton Administration did to this country more than I do.

However, we must face the fact that Ashcroft has been the Attorney General since 2001 and there is no statute of limitations on the murder of our fellow citizens in the Murrah Building.

Had we announced to the world we were acting in self defense in our goal of regime change as a result of attacks on the U.S. by Iraq on April 19, 1995 and September 11, 2001 , as a member of NATO, Turkey would have likely permitted our troops to approach Baghdad from the north. We will never know how many American soldiers' lives would have been spared had the truth been told about Iraq's role in 9-11 and in the Oklahoma City bombing.
